Except there's only bird-life there to hunt & eat - how many people can sustainably get a reasonable amount of protien from the resident kokako & kiwi? Other offshore islands would have bunnies, and other 4 legged protein-sources (Stoats, rats, goats, pigs, cats etc).

Depends what you class as a source of protein ... make sure you have plenty of "friends" on the island and they should last you a while!

Pity that folding knife is double edged...wont come through customs.... but a sword will! maybe I could substitute one of those

Best time of year to get stuff through customs due to volumes, also going by some of the things available at Onehunga $2 shops (butterfly knives, throwing knives, conceal knives, double edged etc etc) one can only assume we dont even have a customs department. Ive raised this with arms office in Auckland but no response, and last visit to said shops they still had the offending items for sale.
